Wrong Side (Of The Tracks) Song Lyrics and Chords by The Wilburn Brothers
Wrong Side (Of The Tracks)
Recorded by The Wilburn Brothers
Written by Betty Sue Perry
C
They used to let me
F
play with her
C
awhile
This rich man’s daughter
F
with the pretty
C
smile
But I was just a
C7
poor man’s ragged
F
child
And
G7
living on the wrong side of the
C
tracks
And
F
social walls are hard to rise
C
above
The
G7
wrong side of the tracks can kill true
C
love
There’s many who must
C7
know what I speak
F
of
If
G7
they come from the wrong side of the
C
tracks
As time went by I
F
grew to love her
C
so
We’d slip away so
F
her folks wouldn’t
C
know
And with each kiss our
C7
love just seemed to
F
grow
Though
G7
I came from the wrong side of the
C
tracks
True
F
love made different worlds into the
C
same
It
G7
knows no boundaries made by social
C
name
But still her parents
C7
gave me all the
F
blame
Cause
G7
I live on the wrong side of the
C
tracks
I guess they had a
F
plan right from the
C
start
They vowed somehow
F
they’d keep we two
C
apart
They moved her far a
C7
way and took my
F
heart
And
G7
left me on the wrong side of the
C
tracks
Yet
F
I received her letter yester
C
day
She
G7
tells me just to wait there’ll be a
C
way
But will they kill her
C7
love by things they
F
say
And
G7
leave me on the wrong side of the
C
tracks
